Important Safety Advice:

When using electrical appliances, Basic precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,

electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the

following:

• If the appliance is damaged, check with the

supplier before installation and operation.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not use in the immediate surroundings of a

bath, shower or swimming pool.

• Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed

socket outlet or connection box.

• Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or

garments on the heater, or obstruct the air

circulation around the heater, for instance by

curtains or furniture, as this could cause

overheating and a fire risk.

• This appliance is not intended for use by children

or other persons without assistance or

supervision if their physical, sensory or mental

capabilities prevent them from using it safely.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they

do not play with the appliance.

• Ensure that furniture, curtains or other

combustible material are positioned no closer than

1 metre from the heater.

• In the event of a fault unplug the heater.

• Unplug the heater when not required for long

periods.

• Although this heater complies with safety

standards, we do not recommend its use on deep

pile carpets or on long hair type of rugs.

• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug

is accessible.

• If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced

by the manufacturer or service agent or a similarly

qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

General

Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for

possible future use, in the event of moving or returning the

fire to your supplier. Loose coals are packed separately

within the carton. When the heater is assembled the coals

are placed on top of the fuel bed.

The heater is designed to be used free-standing.

Fig. 1

Please note: Used in an environment where background

noise is very low, it may be possible to hear the motor

which operates the flame effect. This is normal and should

not be a cause for concern.

A 2kw fan heater discreetly positioned in the canopy of the

fire provides heating in cold weather. Switching allows half

or full heat.

Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage

is the same as that stated on the heater.

Safety cut-out

An automatic cut-out will switch off the heater if for any

reason it overheats. This could occur for instance, if the air

inlet or outlet were restricted in any way. If the cut-out

operates, the heater will switch off. The heater will switch

on once the obstruction has been removed and the heater

has cooled. If the cut-out continues to operate intermittently,

the heater should be switched off and Customer Services

contacted.

Cleaning

Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow

it to cool.

The surfaces of the heater should be given an occasional

wipe over with a dry soft cloth.

Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish

on the body of the heater.

The glass screen should be cleaned carefully with a

chamois leather. DO NOT use proprietary cleaners.

To remove any accumulation of dust or fluff the soft brush

attachment of a vacuum cleaner should occasionally be

used to clean the outlet grille of the fan heater located under

the canopy.

To clean the fuel effect, remove the coals and wash in warm

water. The plastic tray should be wiped clean with a damp

cloth. When dry replace the coals and arrange for best effect.

Lamp Replacement

There are two lamps located beneath the fuel effect. To gain

access to the lamps, remove the coals and place in a

container, remove the two screws from the grate (see Fig. 1)

and lift out the plastic fuel effect and grate assembly to reveal

the lamp. Remove the rotisserie by carefully sliding the

rubber connecter off the motor shaft. Replace the defective

lamp with a 240V 60W E14 SES candle lamp.

Replace plastic fuel effect and grate and place coals back

on fuel effect.
